| Differences between the differences of RMSSD (Root Mean Square of Successive Differences), SDNN (Standard Deviation of the NN Intervall), HF (High Frequency) und LF (Low Frequency)-values ??of the heart rate variability, before and after a one-time “treatment of the tentorium cerebellar” by an osteopath and a sham treatment by a person not trained in osteopathic medicine. The data (HRV values) are collected using a Polar H10 chest strap and the Kubios Scientific software. | — |
